Auburn Students Hit the Trails of Pine Mountain to Learn The Basics of Backpacking

During the weekend of October 25th - 26th, Auburn Outdoors led a group of 10 individuals on a 2-day, 1-night backpacking trip to the Pine Mountain Trail. The team was made up of experienced backpackers and also a handful of people backpacking for the first time! The introduction to backpacking allowed people new to backpacking to gain experience through a low-mileage, overnight trip with stunning views. During the trip, the group hiked roughly 10 miles in the beautiful Pine Mountains of Georgia even making their way to a waterfall having the chance to wade underneath.

Over the weekend, the group gained new knowledge, new experiences, and new friends!
